Hi Dan --

Is there a way the forum can tag the Thread Starter continually throughout? Would make response much easier a day or two after the thread starts. This is the only forum I frequent that lacks this feature.

I have a 2015 Tracer 255 new for me. I am trying to winterize this and saw where you said your Water Heater valves were bedind a louvered cover under the stove. Mine has the furnace blower and hoses there. I cannot find the valves. The only one I found is behind the water heater and is in a neutral position. Any help would be most appreciated.

This person, BIKENDAN, gives very dangerous advise, beware!!!

I do not recall posting anything but do not click unsolicited links. Feel free to delete any mistaken post I may have started.

Thanks for the message Bikendan. I am having difficulties learning how to post, reply etc on this forum. Guess I should just read what others have posted. Understand that the site is not affiliated with Forest River. No problem. Is there a primer on how to use the forum? My intention is to do it correctly... Thanks again.

Hello,

Your right. I get that area confused. Guess that means I need to visit the coast more often.

Please delete my last post before anyone responds to it. The problems I’m having are not something that should reflect badly on coachmen.
Thanks, Dave.

Bikendan,

I'm over here in Woodinville and would like to take the family on an excursion to do some dry camping. This would be our first time. First I plan on doing a dry run in the driveway to see what I miss. I have two children ages 9 & 11 so something that would have water, biking or hiking is preferred (in that order). I own two Honda 2000iu and have the ability to run in companion mode. Thanks for the leads.

Bikendan,

I have been reading a few posts on tow weight and cargo capacity and I see we might have similar setups with our Avys and Hybrids.

My yellow sticker says the cargo weight on the Avy is 1134 lbs. My 23IKSS dry hitch weight is 588 pounds (according to the book). That only gives me 546 pounds for self, wife, 2 kids and a dog. I'm overweight 219 pounds and have not even put anything in the back yet.

Am I figuring something wrong? Does the WDH reduce the dry hitch weight?

Thanks for your thoughts.

As you are probably aware, I'm very new heir, an until now I've enjoy the knowledge I've received, I would not have. Clue how to move to the site you demanded that I go to. So I guess we will just move on. PS try the word PLEASE in your requests not for us, but as a courtesy to newbies as you EXPERTS like too call people. Have a good day. We'll still enjoy our rv without the attitude
